erinmfritz Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I made a friend a candle, used 8% FO with GB444 wax. She says she can't smell it, no HT. Since this is just a tester candle, can I remelt this and add more FO to it (up to 11%) or is is just doomed to be a firestarter? I have re-melted and re-poured candles but never thought of adding more FO. This was a new FO that she wanted to try to see if it smelled like one she had bought elsewhere, I'm bummed it didn't work, CT smelled just like the other. Any help would be appreciated.

Cindy/WI Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I just started testing GB 444 and found curing 1 week I get a pretty good scent throw but 1 1/2 weeks I get a kick butt scent throw. So I would suggest setting it a side for a few days and testing it again. If you still don't get a good scent throw then I think I would chalk it up to it might be just one of those scent that aren't going to throw in soy wax. Another thing to look at is the wick. 8% is a pretty good % to put in a candle so you might want to try a different wick size or a different type of wick all together.

Violetsexoticcandles Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I agree with Cindy- either the FO just isn't going to work in soy or the wick size may be the issue. Maybe if you wick up it will solve the problem.Also, curing does seem to work, as well.Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
